hi Heather, I havent travelled overseas (yet) but am planning a trip to the UK leaving soon. I have several packing cubes, one of which is a compression one - apparently very good.
Sorry I cant advise of their usefulness until after my holiday, but imagine at least that stuff (of the same sort) can be kept all together if nothing else, as well as reducing bulk. Good luck

I always use packing cells, are they one in the same?
I buy them from Kathmandu and one Christmas I bought the kids their own set as they are so useful. I buy them when they are on special. I like the bags that are mesh on one side so you know what is in them. Mine are zip up.
I put underwear in one. sox in another, t-shirts in one, laundry in the biggest and then have one for my emergency medical supply - crystaderm, sticking plasters and anything else that may be needed.
I think they are fantastic as help to keep your bag organised and in the event of someone opening your bags at customs then your smalls etc.. are all contained.

I've never used packing cubes but it seems as if there are at least 2 types: the mesh ones, which would be good for outer-wear, and the compression type that I should think would be very suitable for underwear and socks. Doesn't matter if they become a bit creased, but every centimetre counts if your'e anything like me when packing!

Just an update - I bought 3 - large; medium and small, from a NZ company (an actual store, not online), $40 for the 3 in their sale, and they are partially made from recycled plastic bottles. They look very well made, and have small loops at the end that can be used to hang on coat hangers. I'll be giving them a trial at Easter.
